First US risk-based AI law: required developers and deployers of 'high-risk' AI systems to use reasonable care against algorithmic discrimination, with impact assessments, risk-management programmes, consumer notices and reporting to the Attorney General. Its start date moved from 1 Feb 2026 to 30 Jun 2026 (SB 25B-004) and it was repealed and replaced by SB 26-189 before taking effect.
Why it matters
No longer the compliance target; obligations are now those of SB 26-189, but it remains the reference point for 'algorithmic discrimination' laws elsewhere.
